This paper reviews Kudler Fine Foods and its interest in developing an adjusted strategic plan to evaluate and promote the changing goals of the company. Developing a strategic plan enables Kudler Fine Foods the opportunity to evaluate the organizational structure of the company determining what changes are necessary to company policies to create a more efficient and productive organization. Realigning organizational structure, mission statements and social responsibility statements will enable Kudler Fine Foods the opportunity to offer quality goods and services to the public as Kudler Fine Foods expands through the use of the Internet, Catering Services and In-Store Wi-Fi Café to maximize profits.
Because Kudler Fine Foods wishes to maximize the services it offers, an evaluation of the open market is necessary to ensure that company goals are aligned with the company mission statement, environmental scans, values and social responsibility statement and the open market competition.

Using the four P’s will enable Kudler Fine Foods to take control of the profit and company strategy implementation.
